Can chlamydia cause ureidopropionase deficiency in an unborn child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The genetic disorder beta-ureidopropionase deficiency is caused by gene mutations. It is recessive, meaning that both genes have a mutation in order for the disease to occur. That usually means a baby gets one mutated gene from each parent (one from the egg, one from the sperm).
